This begins as a hand crafted pommade of pink jasmine flowers (jasminum polianthes) and organic unrefined coconut oil. After weeks and weeks of placing fresh flowers onto a solid sheet of coconut oil, the oil becomes drenched in pink jasmine scent. After warming and filtering, we added just a bit of French grapeseed oil and a few drops of an aged Sri Lankan sandalwood oil from the heartwood. Both coconut oil and grapeseed oil are wonderful for hair (and beards and mustaches).

We're having a giveaway for one jar of this lovely hair serum on our Facebook page (giveaway ends Friday, April 6, 2015 sorry! That's Friday April 3, 2015).

We've run out of incense sticks! Our beautiful agarbatti's reserved as gifts-with-order have been spent. They're gone. Kapoot! We've gotten great feedback from our customers regarding our flagship agarbatti, so we're planning to make more and do the same, sell a little, give a little. What better way to spread the scent of joy?

We have a very limited edition Winter Tea Rose Hydrosol made right here in our studio up for sale at The Scented Djinn. A carefully tended Cecile Brunner tea rose bush near the coast is blooming in full scented glory, and we plucked a basket of her blossoms to distill. The hydrosol is spectacular!

We've been experimenting our fingers off over here in the lab of fumes and we've finally hit upon a perfect recipe for building lovely all natural hand crafted incense sticks. Some of the pastes we've created using natural, highly scented raw materials have been somewhat difficult to mold onto the sticks -- it's been a real struggle to come up with just the right combination of resin powders to herb powders to organic bamboo charcoal powder (the ignition switch) that are both 'sticky' and will adhere to the bamboo sticks, and something beautifully fragrant and worthy of presenting to the world.

This is a prototype stick ~

We've opted out of rolling the sticks in the chunkier bits of sandalwood and have ground that sandalwood down to more evenly coat the sticks. And just so you know, that sandalwood's been soaking in a 10X tincture of pink jasmine for a week.
